At Bizquip, we are committed to the continuous improvement and promotion of sustainable work and environmental practices in an effort to ensure a net positive impact on the environment.

Our business offers a full turn-key solution to all workspace requirements across Technology, Interiors, and Supplies. As a reseller for a wide variety of global leading manufacturers, we echo and promote their sentiment towards ensuring a positive impact on the environment. We are focused on working with and promoting manufacturers who invest in environmentally-conscious practices, those with sustainable processes at the core of their strategic objectives with rigorous and transparent processes in place to ensure a proactive approach to conserving and protecting the environment.

In addition to a stringent review of our manufacturer’s sustainable approaches, we as a company, have made a long-term commitment towards sustainability and managing the environmental footprint of our business.

A huge part of this commitment was implimenting our QEHS (Quality, Environmental and Health & Safety) Management System in July 2023, which led to Bizquip achieving ISO certifications for ISO 9001, 14001, 45001 in December 2023.
